Depression & Anxiety Group Led by James Clapper

Depression and Anxiety can sometimes rule our lives and have a large impact on us as individuals as well as impact others in our lives. Come to the group to gain support, helpful input, share your challenges and possibly successes when dealing with Depression and Anxiety.

Cost: $5 - Why the cost? Therapist must dedicate approximately 200 hours each academic year to train Group Interns. Cost helps to cover a portion of these hours as well as assist in a portion of overhead expenses.

Location: Loring Therapy, LLC on the SE corner of Middlebelt and Ford Rd in Garden City. Located in the corner building above "Orin Jewelers", suite 212. Use Middlebelt Road entrance under the 2240 Green Awning.

* Interns - Some groups will be led by Head Therapist, Charity Loring, LMSW and some groups will be led by trained Master's level interns. If the group is led by an intern, therapist may contact the group via email after the session to get input, questions or concerns from the members as to how they feel the group was led. This information will assist Loring Therapy in it's process for continued intern training. Or you can contact Charity Loring of Loring Therapy directly at: [masked]

**RSVP / Very Important- Due to RSVP limit, please update RSVP if you cannot make it so that someone on the waiting list may take your spot.

***No-Shows - If you have more than 5 "no-shows" and you are signed up for an event, unfortunately organizer will have to remove you from event to make space for those who attend regularly as space is very limited. To re-instate your no-show status, contact Head Organizer, Charity Loring at [masked] for arrangements. Thank you.

Not everyone has insurance or can afford individual therapy, or they may just need additional support in their lives.Loring Therapy, LLC, founder of Emotional Support Collaborative, offers FREE Therapeutic Support Groups to the community.The first 60 days are free. After the 60 days, if you want to continue attending groups you just pay $25 for annual dues. We used to charge $5 - $8 per group, so this is our way to make groups more affordable.

We all need emotional support. Sometimes we find that the best place to get support is from other like-minded individuals who are facing the same challenges as we are. The emotional support collaborative meets on different life challenging topics. Our goal is to provide an atmosphere of understanding, compassion and support. Group founder is a trained Psychological therapist who, in conjunction with other trained group facilitators, will help lead and give helpful input in each support group.

Each member is met with compassion, respect, non-judgment, confidentiality and a strong belief in the potential for attaining the balance, strength and joy that exists for each of us! We're looking forward to having you join us!

If you'd like additional therapeutic support, therapist provides individual sessions at an affordable price and there is also a sliding scale option. www.loring therapy.com For more information about organizer and therapeutic techniques, visit: www.loringtherapy.com
